Remove DC penalty from Skull Merchant matches!

Since you refuse to rework her, remove DC penalty from skull merchant matches...

NOBODY should be held hostage in a 40min game because of players abusing your poor game/killer design. And your pure ignorance on this matter. Man up, admit to a mistake and make some changes!

Enough is enough. 3 skull merchant matches in the past two hours, two of them straight up trying to 3gen from the very start.

And it's really not just about the time, it's also the fact that those kind of matches are simply boring to death.

    It shows you are playing killer way more then survivor.

    TBF I agree. Provided they outright delete skull merchant (possibly knight too, but he's only half as bad)

    Yes! In fact there should be a matchmaking penalty for those who play AS Skull Merchant, not for those who DC against her.

    They should just disable Skull Merchant until they have reworked her.

    Not really. Well designed killers like Hillbilly, Legion, and Wesker all get DCed on pretty frequently in my experience, and it's hardly as though there's design fuckups happening there.

    People just DC when they're mad or they don't like something, when there's no penalty. It says nothing about the killers in question, and everything about the players themselves.

    Bottom line: They need to do something about this killer. It's an understatement to say she is unhealthy for the game. I say when the survivor bots come in, they should remove the DC penalty all together. Let's those cheap skull merchant players play against bots.

    SM Players should have 1h penalty for each game lasting more than 25 minutes ; that seems fair!

    I completely agree with this forum post. Remove her, Rework her do basically anything. But stop making us suffer.

    As a potential change, I proclaim to destroy the power of her drones near gens! So whenever a drone covers a gen, you do not get exposed even when your bar is full. As compensation, you can buff the drones when used in chase. With this, she can still use the drones to 3 gen, but she has to keep the players injured. So more skill involved, than the brainless 3-gen play we have now.
